Hi.

This might seem like a simple issue, however I have not found any hits pertaining to my challenge.

I want to retrieve ALL tasks for a given project, the API however only returns 50.

There is no mention why in the developer documentation that I can find.

I have set the ?limit integer to 0 and 1000 respectively but I still only get 50 back.

Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance.

Hi @anon20693226 and welcome to the forum!

Yes, this is what you need to know about:

> **[Pagination](https://developers.asana.com/docs/pagination)**
>
> Paginating requests for object sets that may be large is highly recommended. For requests that will return large result sets, the API may truncate the result or timeout attempting to gather the data. Pagination ensures a more reliable experience by...

You want to make paginated requests specifying a limit of 100.

FYI pagination is handled automatically by the Asana client SDK libraries, so if it’s possible for you to use one of those, you don’t have to handle the pagination yourself. Otherwise, you will.
